Transcript

Richard Bush: Having served for some time in the U.S. government, I have found that it was always important to understand how a great power like the United States is viewed by other countries. Sometimes it’s a surprise, but a great power needs to know how it is being perceived. China is a great power and it’s playing a more and more important role in the international system. So it’s important that China understands how it is seen and we’re fortunate today to have people from the East Asian region who can offer perspectives of how their country, how their people are viewing China and each of them will speak for seven to nine minutes and then we will have an exchange of views.

To begin the discussion is my friend to my left, Dr. Chung Jae Ho who is a Professor of International Relations at Seoul National University. He is living in China this year. He has written the book “Between Ally and Partner: Korea-China Relations and the United States” published by Columbia University Press, and so he is absolutely the best person to talk about how the Republic of Korea views China and its rise.
